The island city of Mumbai nestled in the Arabian Sea is India’s leading industrial, educational, and tourist hub. The history of this cosmopolitan city dates back to the 16th century, when Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer christened the city Bom Baia, denoting ‘Good Bay’. The Portuguese ruler gifted this group of seven islands to Charles II of England, who leased these to the East India Company in the 18th century. The British made the city their headquarters for trading and renamed it Bombay. This era saw the development of monuments, offices, railways, and the famous Bombay Stock Exchange came into existence.
